Consistent with [Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder]. There are clinically significant mood symptoms within the bipolar spectrum - including elevated or expansive mood; irritable mood; inflated self-esteem; grandiosity; decreased need for sleep; increased talkativeness; pressured speech; flight of ideas; racing thoughts; distractibility; increased goal-directed activity; psychomotor agitation; engagement in risky activities; depressed mood; markedly diminished interest or pleasure; significant weight or appetite change; insomnia; hypersomnia; psychomotor retardation; fatigue; loss of energy; feelings of worthlessness; excessive guilt; impaired concentration; indecisiveness; recurrent thoughts of death; suicidal ideation - forming a bipolar-spectrum pattern that causes impairment but does not meet full criteria for any specific bipolar disorder due to insufficient duration, incomplete symptom constellation, atypical course, or limited available information. The picture is not better explained by a defined bipolar disorder, substance or medication effect, a primary psychotic disorder, or a medical condition.
